  • Inflation, blah, blah, blah

    The inflation episode was stupid. I wanted more about John VN.

  • Very fun and educational

    The podcast has gotten so much better over the years. Not that it was ever bad, it's just more refined now. It's one of only three podcasts that I absolutely must listen to every week without fail. It has become more mature and thoughtful lately, but it still keeps its original charm and irreverent sense of humor. I adore both sides. I love the outtakes and I'm sad when there aren't any. Keep up the awesome work everyone (Darren, Adam, Pat, Cristina, and guests)! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
